INFORMATION RELEASE

The Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen (RDOS) board is going on the road. The Thursday, May 22, 2025, meeting of the RDOS Board of Directors will take place at the Princeton & District Community Skills Centre located at 206 Vermillion Ave. The meeting will begin at 3:00 pm.

“Hosting the RDOS board meeting in other locations within the Regional District is an important part of open governance,” said Mark Pendergraft, RDOS chair. “It also provides directors with an opportunity to become more familiar with other communities in the region.”

Before the May 22 board meeting, a group of RDOS directors and senior staff will join Princeton’s mayor Spencer Coyne, also an RDOS board member, for a tour of the Copper Mountain Mine. May is Mining Month in B.C., a time to celebrate and acknowledge the contribution mining makes in the province. “I am happy to see the RDOS board will be exploring other areas of the district,” said Coyne. “It is important that we experience one another's communities.”

The meeting of the RDOS Board of Directors is open to the public and will be streamed live on the RDOS YouTube channel. To view the meeting agenda, please visit rdos.bc.ca. The May 22 meeting of the Okanagan-Similkameen Regional Hospital Board (OSRHD) has been rescheduled to Thursday, June 19, 2025.

“RDOS staff are focused on identifying opportunities to better connect with rural communities,” said Jim Zaffino, RDOS Chief Administrative Officer. “This includes hosting meetings in different locations and participating in community events across the region.”
